Thread: [Php-java-bridge-users] Suggested deployment?

Hi,

 We have a php web application which will be accessing a third party
Java API (in form of jars) what is the suggested deployment method? I
have tried following:

1. Compiled the source which results in java.so and then include it in
php.ini using 'extension=java.so'

2. Start the servlet engine explicitly using java commend 'java -jar
JavaBridge.jar SERVLET:8080 3 javabridge_servlet.log' inside
JAVA.STANDALONE folder.

 I have couple of questions.
- Which is the suggested way of deploying php-java bridge?
- The servlet engine which is part of the JavaBridge.jar is it stable
enough for production?
- Good thing about option 1 is that I do not have to start any
separate process it gets started with apache but we have experienced
that for some reason for every call it was creating a separate process
and we end up having lots of java processes. Are we using it
incorrectly?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Amit.

1. Copy JavaBridge.war to tomcat's autodeploy folder
2. Copy the created webapps/JavaBridge directory over to the IIS/Apache doc root

The java.so or php_java.dll start a Java process in minit and destroy it in mshutdown. minit/mshutdown are called when IIS or Apache starts/stops. Or when the CGI or CLI binary is invoked/terminated, which happens for every request.

Java threads from a thread pool show up as processes in old Linux kernels or psutils.

Hi,
 Thanks for the quick response.

This might be a very stupid question but Do I have to keep tomcat
running as well? Or just copying it in doc root of apache is
sufficient?

Thanks

Hi,

without a running java VM a java extension would not make any sense, I think.
